Gorilla Tag, developed by Another Axiom, is a multiplayer VR game that popularized a unique locomotion mechanic based on arm movement rather than traditional joystick input. Its accessibility on the Meta Quest 2, a standalone headset running a modified Android operating system, has led to a massive user base.
The popularity of the game has spawned a robust community of "modders." While some modifications are designed for accessibility or aesthetic customization, a significant subset—often distributed as "Mod Menu APKs"—are designed to provide unfair advantages or to disrupt the experience of other players. This paper aims to deconstruct these APKs, analyze their prevalence, and discuss the broader implications for the VR software ecosystem.
The distribution of Mod Menu APKs presents significant risks to the end-user and the platform.
Mod Menus often include features designed to annoy or harass other players.
